Non-Progression The following will result in non-progression within the Department of Nursing: 1. Grade below C in any nursing courses 2. Grade below C- in a non-nursing prerequisite course. 3. Dropping of a nursing course. Non-Progression Procedure The procedure for non-progression in the Department of Nursing is as follows: 1. The Admissions and Progression Committee (APC) is informed of the non-progression through the CARE FORM process. 2. Students are informed of the non-progression verbally, via postal mail and email. 3. The CARE Form serves as the documentation of the non-progression and will be retained as a part of the student’s permanent record. 4. If non-progression occurs within a semester, the student may continue in other nursing courses in which he or she is presently enrolled unless the nursing course with a grade below C is a prerequisite or co-requisite to the course. 5. If a student elects to appeal a grade or situation resulting in non-progression using college procedures defined in the College Catalog, the student may attend currently enrolled class until a final decision is made. Students may not attend clinical during the appeal process. Repeating a Nursing Course 1. A grade of C or above (75%) is required for successful completion of a nursing course. (Consult course syllabus for specific calculation of the 75% test average requirement as determined by the course professor). 2. A student with grade below C (D+, D, and F) in a nursing course will be ineligible to enroll in or complete subsequent nursing courses listing the failed course as a prerequisite. 29
3. When the initial attempt of a nursing course results in a grade below C, the student may enroll in the course for a second time with approval from the APC and on a space-available basis. 4. When a student withdraws from a nursing course, the student may enroll in the course for a second time with the approval from the APC. Space availability, the student’s current and cumulative GPA, and professional behaviors are taken into consideration for repeating a course. 5. Repetition of one nursing course is permitted and requires approval from the APC. Consideration is based on space availability in all components of the course including the class, clinical, and lab. The student must be within good standing of the Department of Nursing. If a course needs to be repeated, an electronically completed request form must be submitted to the APC via email using the Student Request to APC Form, (see Appendix N). Request must be submitted one semester prior the potential readmission semester. The form should be submitted 14 business days before the end of the Fall or Spring semester. The Admission and Progression Committee does not routinely meet in the summer; therefore requests for fall must be submitted by the end of May. Requests submitted in the summer will be reviewed in late August. 6. Many nursing clinical courses are sequential and may not be completed out of sequence. 7. A student will have one opportunity to repeat a nursing course in which a grade below C (75%) was earned (excluding Human Pathophysiology, Nutrition and Pharmacology). A student who earns below a C (75%) upon repetition of a nursing course will be ineligible to continue enrollment in nursing courses. The student will then be dismissed from the Department of Nursing and is not eligible for readmission. Dismissal The following will result in dismissal from the Department of Nursing: Dismissal from the College Grade below C (75%) in a repeat nursing course (excluding Human Pathophysiology, Nutriton, and Pharmacology).
